OK, some actual ideas. I can't wear Cole Haan - they run too narrow for me - but they have comfort versions. Used to use Nike air technology but I think that partnership has ended.
Rockport & Adidas owned by same company so many Rockport shoes have Adidas comfort/support technology, like
these.
Merrell don't fit me anymore - they changed their last a few years back and the arch now falls too far forward on me
Keen sandals don't work for me but shoes & boots do - but I buy up half a size.
Clarks also too narrow for me, but Privo fit me nicely (probably because I don't buy the stiff all-leather options)
Ecco - love love love. But some styles don't fit me and others do. Sadness. Love they offer goretex options in shoes for women (I feel like no one else does that!)

This is Ecco but my (old) Rockport loafers are very similar
For a professional conference I attend most years, I like an open-toe wedge. Professional but good for warmer weather. I have a pair from Sofft and one from Anne Klein.
This from Rockport is cute and comes in a few colors
These are the Dansko I have (in black) but they're not available (at least, not at Sierra where I bought them...)
